House extensions in Faversham that suit a historic town
Faversham's medieval town centre and surrounding Kent peg-tile cottages need traditional craftsmanship. We are equipped for lime mortar, oak frame repair and sash-window joinery alongside modern extensions.
Old house, new room: the details that matter
On older Faversham homes, the success of an extension comes down to how carefully it meets the original building.
| Detail | Why it matters | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar | Hard cement mortar against soft old brick traps moisture | Lime mortar where the existing building needs it |
| Timber frame | Tudor merchant houses and older cottages may have oak frames | Oak frame repair skills in-house |
| Windows | New windows should sit comfortably beside originals | Sash-window joinery from our own workshop |
| Roof | Kent peg tiles give the town its look | Careful matching of roof pitch and covering |
Planning in and around Faversham
Faversham falls under Swale Borough Council. The medieval centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, and works to a listed building need listed building consent as well as any planning permission. Outside the centre, Edwardian terraces and newer homes are usually more straightforward.
Our extension service includes drawings, planning and building control, so the application, the building regulations submission and the build stay joined up.
